[quote=Anonymous]Deli meat is one of the worst foods you can eat for a variety of reasons.

Best bet is to get or make roast chicken (non-seasoned if you purchase) and use that for salads/sandwiches, etc. Instead of bread, you can buy wraps and use those. Buy the lower sodium cheeses - not "low sodium cheese" because yuck but cheeses or options that are naturally lower in sodium, e.g. fresh mozarella, ricotta, swiss, cream cheese. Low Sodium tuna (I like bumblebee albacore in gold can) is really good but expensive.

Be careful with nuts and get the low/non-salted kind and then you can use non-sodium seasons to jazz up yourself. Beans are good if fresh but if for time you need canned, rinse well and/or buy low sodium.

Low sodium marinara sauces are available if you can't find your own and then add your own seasonings to taste.

It's hard - I've done it to prevent being on hbp meds. It gets easier once you start paying attention and get grossed out at how much sodium we're taking in without even knowing it.

Basically go fresh when you can. It takes more time but you'll be all the more healthier for the effort.[/quote]
